A fuller understanding of the social epidemiology of disease requires an extended description of the relationships between social factors and health indicators in a systematic manner. In the present study, we investigated the correlations between income and 330 indicators of physiological, biochemical, and environmental health in participants in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination ...

Denise Li and Kathleeen Puntillo are from the Department of Physiological Nursing, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, Calif. Scale has been evaluated in sedated ICU patients receiving mechanical ventilation. The Behavioral Pain Scale consists of 3 behavioral domains (ie, facial expression, movements of upper limbs, and compliance with ventilation). These domains have differ...

Evaluation of Guided Visualizations and the Relationships Among Perceived Stress, Differentiation of Self, Sense of Coherence, Dyadic Satisfaction and Quality of Life by Kim R. Rogers Dr. Katherine Hertlein, Committee Chair Professor of Family and Marriage Therapy University of Nevada, Las Vegas This study focused on three main areas. These areas involved (1) the relationship among perceived st...

The purpose of this research was to identify pig welfare indicators that could help in recognizing stressful practices on farm. The study evaluated behavioral and physiological indicators (cortisol and negative acute phase proteins) in 2 groups of 20 female pigs 4 months old after a 48-hr transport. The first group (A) was transported at the end of May, the second (B) in June. Behavioral observ...

Ratiometric fluorescent indicators are becoming increasingly prevalent in many areas of biology. They are used for making quantitative measurements of intracellular free calcium both in vitro and in vivo, as well as measuring membrane potentials, pH, and other important physiological variables of interest to researchers in many subfields. Often, functional changes in the fluorescent yield of ra...

To determine whether the DNA gyrase (gyrB) and 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) genes can be used as indicators of the biological activities of Legionella pneumophila, the expression levels were estimated. The ratio of mRNA/DNA in gyrB was 0.7 in mid log phase and decreased drastically after the log phase. For 16S rRNA, the ratio was highest in mid log phase (7.0×10(3)), and the value that was abou...
